Oil Loading Operations Suspended at UAE's Fujairah Port, Sources Say
The port handles about 1 million barrels daily of UAE’s Murban crude, and the suspension followed a weekend strike amid regional conflict disrupting oil shipping.
- On March 16, oil loading operations at Fujairah port, United Arab Emirates, were suspended after a drone attack sparked a fire in the petroleum industrial zone, Reuters sources said.
- The Fujairah Media Office said Monday a drone attack caused fires in the petrochemicals complex, while Iran's military warned UAE ports could be legitimate targets amid the US-Israel war with Iran.
- Fujairah sits outside the Strait of Hormuz and links by pipeline to Abu Dhabi, handling about 1 million barrels per day of Murban crude and hosting Adnoc’s facility with capacity for more than 70 million barrels.
- Market pressure followed, with the second disruption at the bunkering hub pushing oil trading above $100 a barrel and prompting the International Energy Agency to release 400 million barrels.
- After briefly resuming on March 15, operations paused again as civil defence teams worked to control the blaze, with no casualties reported, the Fujairah government media office said.
